Pound Pals

Named for the patron saint of animals, this group's members visit the St. Peter pound weekly to walk dogs and socialize cats awaiting adoption. Pound Pal volunteers also help organize animal awareness presentations and pound fundraisers.

Mission

The mission of St. Francis Pound Pals is to further the cause of animal welfare by serving the local shelter, by raising community awareness of animal issues, and by taking personal responsibility for the well-being of animals in our lives.

How to Apply

At the beginning of each Fall and Spring Semester, stop by the Center for Servant Leadership to pick up an application or download one online. Please check for deadlines when applying.

Advocacy

It is the goal of Pound Pals not only to socialize animals and acclimate them to human companionship but also to promote advocacy and awareness about animal-related issues. We strive to do so outside of our time at the pound.
